Why do most houses in Fujian face south?

Sitting in a house facing south allows us to enjoy the sunshine all day. Sitting in a house facing south, not only in Fujian, but also in the north and south.

The first is the feudal superstition that children and grandchildren have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. In fact, most modern houses are buildings. The place where we often move is actually the living room. Everyone knows that more sunshine can help us to supplement calcium, so many houses we live in now face south. In the past, people felt comfortable because of the sunshine in the room, so the house gradually formed a pattern of sitting north facing south. The geographical position of our motherland is actually in the northern half of the equator. Since ancient times, the sun has risen in the east and set in the west. Our house faces south, so we can enjoy the sunshine all day. If our house faces east or west, it only takes us half a day to feel comfortable. Therefore, people have long attached importance to sitting in a position facing south.

Most parts of our country have monsoon climate. Southeast wind blows in summer and northwest wind blows in winter. The house faces south, and the big glass windows are mostly in the south. Most of the windows in the north are walls or small windows, thus forming a pattern of warm winter and cool summer. So sitting facing south can make our life more comfortable.

The ancient people's science was not developed. They thought that sitting facing south was a respect for the gods and could make us healthy. In fact, sitting facing south is not so important to us now. What we need is north-south ventilation. Every household has air conditioning, which can make it warm in winter and cool in summer. Perhaps it is because Fujian people still have a sense of remembering the past.

Now the house faces south, which is nothing more than the above aspects, that is, people's lives. You need to remember to follow your heart and follow your parents' footsteps.
